Hello everyone. My name is Oren, a retired Air Force medic, a certified factory-trained BMW motorcycle mechanic, MSF RiderCoach and founder of Lost Highways - an Arizona-based adventure motorcycle rental company. With over half of my life dedicated to military service, my passion for exploration and the call of the open road found me weaving through the picturesque landscapes of the Dolomites in northern Italy while stationed in Europe. Those rides became a sanctuary and a brief respite from the high operations tempo at the only U.S. Fighter wing south of the Alps. I also found some of the best cafes along the way. I retired from the United States Air Force in 2020 after 9 assignments and more than 24 years on active duty to start a new chapter in my life.

Post-military life led me to the Motorcycle Mechanic Institute, where I learned how to service and maintain Harley Davidson and BMW motorcycles. Following this, I worked at Motoghost, a independent BMW motorcycle repair shop in Phoenix, Arizona. At this time, I transitioned from riding American V-Twin cruisers to Bavarian Adventure bikes for the superior performance, design and utility of a BMW GS, the swiss army knife of motorcycles. From then on my riding experience changed. I loved where I could go on my R 1250 GS. I was riding roads less traveled with more confidence on all types of terrain covered in gravel, dirt, rocks, water and sand. I viewed landscapes and reached destinations I never thought possible on two-wheels. Soon after, I started ‘Lost Highways’.

Lost Highways is my passion project. A personal business venture that allows me to maintain a small rental fleet of adventure-ready motorcycles and share some of my favorite routes to ride in Arizona, both on and off pavement. Additionally, I recommend select campsites for motocamping at state and national parks, bureau of land management and federal service department campgrounds. Most of which my wife and I enjoy spending time to relax and connect with the natural surroundings in our home state of Arizona. Riders have the option to choose from various self-guided tour packages that include adventure motorcycle rentals, customized route planning, motocamping essentials, and campground recommendations.

So, whether you are a seasoned rider seeking new horizons or looking to embark on your first two-wheeled expedition, let Lost Highways help plan your next motoventure. Contact me today, and let's pave the way to memories that will last a lifetime.
